They had known each other since childhood. They were childhood sweethearts and had grown up together, not only with each other but also alongside Titus, Sonny, and the others.
However, Hendrix was from Annenburg, so he had the advantage of being close to the source.
Titus was nominally Avah’s brother, but they weren’t related by blood. Titus cherished Avah like the apple of his eye and loved her dearly.
If Jennifer hadn’t come along and accompanied Titus as he grew up, Hendrix might have worried that Titus’s feelings for Avah would eventually develop into romantic love.
Thank goodness Jennifer had come along.
Hendrix silently expressed his gratitude to Jennifer in his heart.
Hendrix also had another major advantage: his mother and Avah’s mother had been best friends for decades. Jane trusted her friends and their spouses, which was why she felt comfortable entrusting her precious daughter to Hendrix.
